The Lord wants us to die to ourself and let Christ live in us . That is the only way in which we can live a victorious life free from the bondage of sin and satan. Only when we are totally surrendered to God , we can bear much fruit and be used in the Kingdom of God mightily . We must deny ourselves and take up the cross daily to follow the Lord. We must deny our selfish desires and longings and offer our lives on the altar of the Lord everyday and dedicate ourselves to fulfill His will in our lives. Then we will be filled with the life of God and we will experience life in all its fulness.

" For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. "
